Description

In 2001, Dessor Ree Frazier gave 20 acres of the farm to the Natural Area Preservation Association, now known as the Texas Land Conservancy. She had inherited the property from her parents and grandparents who were former slaves. It is now known as the Frazier-Runnels Wildlife Preserve, an inholding in the Angelina National Forest. It is located near the Boykin community and the Catahoula Forest preserve.

Location Notes

A marker could go near Ms Frazier's grave, a the Rockwall Union Cemetery, or perhaps in the Angelina National Forest (111 Walnut Ridge Road; Zavalla, Texas 75980), or near the donation site itself (that's what the coordinates here show).
